MaxSoar's independent investment analysis team reviewed the company's business operations, financial results, supply and demand for its products, major developments and transactions, industry, local economy, and national economy in great detail and concluded that for an established gasoline and diesel wholesaler and distributor in an oligopoly competitive status, Longwei's stock is currently undervalued from either an intrinsic valuation standpoint or a relative valuation standpoint.

For the intrinsic valuation using the discounted cash flow ("DCF") model, MaxSoar's analysts made what it believed to be conservative forecasts of future financial results for the Company's existing two facilities and for the new facility assets it is acquiring. In addition, the analysts used conservative values including a high market risk premium for the input parameters of the capital asset pricing model ("CAPM") and DCF models and added three extra risk premiums to the required rate of return derived from standard process to raise the required rate of return to a very high level of almost 20%. The fair value MaxSoar obtained through this rigorous DCF valuation model was
$5.41.

For the relative valuation, MaxSoar's analysts compared Longwei to Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP (NYSE: KMP) and Enbridge Energy Partners LP (NYSE: EEP), two publicly traded oil and natural gas distributors, and took a discount on these two comparable companies' multiples to account for size and location differences. The analysts further compared Longwei to Fortune Oil PLC (London Stock Exchange: FTO) and
Chiwan Base (Shengzhen Stock Exchange: 200053), two small-cap oil service companies in the PRC, and Dialog Group Bhd (Malaysia Stock Exchange: DLG), a small-cap oil service company in
Malaysia. The analysts used the lowest valuation multiples among these three comparable companies to calculate Longwei's fair value. The fair value range MaxSoar obtained through its relative valuation model was
$5.00 to $5.42 per share.

Longwei recently published photos and videos of its assets and operations and a reconciliation of its U.S. SEC filings and its SAT/SAIC filings in the PRC to its website,
www.longweipetroleum.com. MaxSoar's analysts believe the Company stands out from its Chinese small-cap and mid-cap peers in terms of verifiability of business operations and reliability of reported financial results.
